OET-LV Because this is the message that you_all_heard from the_beginning, that we_may_be_loving one_another,

OET (OET-RV) Yes, this is the message that you all heard from the beginning: to be loving each other—

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 2:28–4:6: We should obey God’s commands in order to avoid being ashamed when we meet Christ

Read 2:28–4:6 carefully.

Section Theme: In this section (after the main theme in 2:28–29), John is saying that in order not to be ashamed when we meet Christ we must do the following:

3:1–10

We should live pure and righteous lives as Christ did.

3:11–18

We should love and help our fellow Christians.

3:19–24

We should obey God’s commands to believe in his Son and to love one another.

4:1–6

We should carefully test what teachers say so that we know whether they are speaking for the Holy Spirit.

Paragraph 3:11–12

Read 3:11–12 in both BSB and GNT. Compare the two versions.

Paragraph Theme: These verses link what John has just said about living pure lives to what he is going to say in 3:13–18 about the importance of loving one another.

3:11a

This is the message you have heard from the beginning:

(RSV) For: (Logical Relationship) Although John is moving on to a new topic, Christian love, this verse is closely tied to the last one. In the Greek, verse 11 starts with “Because/For,” as it gives the reason why we know that anyone who does not love his fellow Christians cannot be a child of God. When translating this verse, it will be necessary to consider whether a linking word is needed in order to make this connection to verse 10 clear (as in NEB, RSV, KJV, JBP, LB) or whether the new unit (3:11–12) requires that there be no linking word (as in BSB, NIV, GNT).

the message…beginning: (Meaning) This means that the command to love one another was a main point in the Christian instruction which they received when they first became believers.

3:11b

We should love one another.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἀπ’ ἀρχῆς

from ˓the˒_beginning

John uses the phrase from the beginning in various ways in this letter. Here it refers to the time when the people to whom he is writing first heard about or first believed in Jesus. See how you translated this phrase in 2:7. Alternate translation: [ever since you first heard about Jesus]

OET-LV Because this is the message that you_all_heard from the_beginning, that we_may_be_loving one_another,

OET (OET-RV) Yes, this is the message that you all heard from the beginning: to be loving each other—
